Guys, would you date a woman who can't cook?

Question

Jlegacy · Accepted Answer

Can't cook? Meaning she can't prepare pancakes, noodles or fry eggs? If yes, no. The reason is, if a woman loves you, she would prepare for you even before she meets you. She would be hopeful and patient and industrious, knowing that she is going to marry a King someday. As a King, I have been building myself too. Financially, materially, mentally, spiritually, sexually and all round. I even learnt to cook so she won't have to cook for me always. I enjoy washing my clothes and have even done laundry for girls I loved. That is how sure I am that a Queen is going to be my bride.

So no. I won't date her.

Yeah, truth be told, skills like that can be learnt. As long as she's not ignorant and willing to learn then fine. Tbh my mom didn't know any cooking until she got married eithrr, dad taught her and since then she's good at it. In my family there has never been anyone who doesn't cook. My sister does so do I. So all that matters is that she's willing to learn

lmfao, I cannot cook, I burn down stuff when I do, but I'm learning! My mother wants me to be independent and not depend on anyone else for anything. Even my brother knows how to cook.

ItsMeElliana · Accepted Answer

I dont think being a great cook should matter if you love her right? i mean she could always learn how to be better at cooking... or just let the man do the cooking

Shizunk · Answer

There is no such thing as "can't cook". Even the average child can follow a set of instructions once they can read. Now if you mean "cook really well" that is something else. I do not have high standards when it comes to food. So if we are talking about a woman who is not great at cooking but can assemble a dinner, absolutely fine. If you mean a woman who doesn't want to cook, because someone told her she can't, I would have an issue with that. But would still date and marry her after she accepts that food doesn't have to be complicated.

Qdbrown · Answer

If dating to marry, no. Especially if kids are involved. She needs to know basic cooking stuff and have a small menu of things she can prepare.

Prepared foods do not count, and are not healthy.

When the moment of truth comes, a mom that cannot cook will cost you more when she ships in all the UberEATS.

It's a red flag. All people should know how to cook basic stuff and understand basic nutrition.

FinalFantasyBro · Answer

She isn't my idea type considering I want to be able to cook with her, but I don't mind though I can try cooking for the both of us. But I would need her help in buying the groceries though, there is a difference in not being able to cook and just being flat out lazy.

Hypnos0929 · Answer

Yes, as long as you're willing to learn.
I absolutely HATE people who refuse to improve themselves or at least learn things. My mother wanted me to download a movie app for her, I said okay, but she expected me to always navigate it for her. She refused to learn so I stopped helping and she stopped using it altogether. Laziness is disgusting

PositiveNote · Answer

I would date a non-cook. Shoot… going out is usually to restaurants, anyway. Give me more “looking” time—I can fix my eyes on hers! More time away from dirty dishes and more time doing other (dirty) things!

VanillaSalt · Answer

Who can’t cook? Yes. Unwilling to learn? No. I’m sorry but certain things I need a woman to do to be worth all the effort I choose to put into her. To be frank if she is unwilling to take care of me and my kids I have zero interest in her.

jim009 · Answer

As long as she isn't lazy yes I would. If she doesn't work, or cook, or clean, or be refreshed and ready to get freaky each and every night... well what's the point?

Diodoro · Answer

Yes hahaha, the picture got me. I honestly like to cook. I'd date a girl who can't cook but longterm she would have to learn for future kids.

EmbraceThePain · Answer

Yeah, I would have no problems dating a woman that cannot cook. I’m not entirely a great cook myself, but I’m sure we can both learn and become better cooks overtime.

BlueWalker · Answer

Yes, because I can cook myself and I don't need a woman to cook for me. lol However, her being able to cook is always a bonus, because cooking in the kitchen together can be fun.

Finchie40 · Answer

I would cuz I enjoy cooking so I would cook for her as long as she is good at other things 😋

Anonymous · Answer

No, girls who don't know cooking also don't appreciate guys who cook, they just want rich guys who will take them out for expensive dinners. Girls who cook, also know it's hard work and needs a lot of patience. In my last, I did the cooking for months, she always liked the foods but not the time-consuming cooking. Plus cooking can be messy if you are doing it for long hours and people don't look like models doing that. Plus cooking together can be fun.

t-8900 · Answer

You don't really need to know how to cook for me. We can work as a team in the kitchen. I can chop and cook and you can clean the dishes. Fair enough?

Anonymous · Answer

Yes without a doubt. I kinda enjoy cooking and baking and would be happy to cook for us both. I would hope maybe she can cook a few things even if simple so that I can maybe get a night off cookin every so often. And I'd appreciate her helping me out so that we ccna have fun spending time together and it would make. ir a bit easier. on me.

jsincal · Answer

I’m a better cook anyways. Bonus Points if she wants to duel. Bonus points and a high-five if she’s a better cook.

misterCage4 · Answer

If she insists on not learning how to do it then no. It's something every person should learn how to do. And it says a lot when someone just doesn't want to learn it for no reason.

MatthewA · Answer

If she tries to then it’s good enough. But the same goes for the guy in the relationship they should also know basic cooking knowledge.

TheorionMage · Answer

If you can boil water, you CAN eventually 'cook'... the 'trick' lies in making it enjoyable or at least, 'tolerable' ~

DJB72 · Answer

Yes, I have done. My first girlfriend asked me to teach her so I needed a cabbage shredded and steamed. She promptly boiled a lettuce. I never let her cook again

Miristheiss · Answer

Sure.  Most women can't cook now so who would I date? Her being a good cook would be a plus but it isn't a major issue.

Wester1967 · Answer

People should be able to cook for themselves. Anywhere anytime. It's a basic skill for being an adult and saving money.

Renegade_Sailor · Answer

Fuck no, it's an essential life skill, a grown ass woman who can't cook also can't do a lot of other things.  Not wasting my time. It's a huge red flag! 🚩

Mango-man · Answer

Yes, because cooking skills are something that is gained with practice.

pickedcrisps · Answer

Intolerant I may be, no. Unless they were a soulmate I probably could not. I'm no chef either but... you know... could I really

exitseven · Answer

Why not, maybe she could learn. Maybe you both could learn.

InspecturGajit · Answer

Yes because I can cook. As long as she can bring something else to the relationship (besides debt)

llElectrifyll · Answer

Yes, and you can always show her how to cook too. No biggie.

ohshee · Answer

If I like her she's not that big of a deal cuz I love to cook

ThoseCognacEyes · Answer

Yes. That’s not a problem, as long as she doesn’t expect me to cook everyday.

clampfan101 · Answer

Anyone can learn with a good teacher which is looking increasingly easier with things like Skillshare. She doesn’t have to know before I meet her. I’d even practice with her so we could both learn.

Xoirwinkan · Answer

An intelligent person can learn just about anything. I would say cooking is easier than dancing, since cooking is more about freestyling it to great taste.

TheSpaceGnome · Answer

Yeah, I can cook, so I can just teach her how, everyone should know how.

JakeS00 · Answer

I can always teach lol. Or show her the basics to cook something.

GingerGuy · Answer

As long as she can clean! LOL jk. It's not a prerequisite.

scuff1986 · Answer

Sure but only cos I can cook. If she's willing to learn that's even better

Slayerrrrrrr · Answer

Of course, I'd teach her if she wants to learn. I taught my ex/bby mama how to cook a bunch of things.

nawtee_me · Answer

I love to cook so if she doesn't that is okay and if she wants to get in the kitchen with me that is even better.

Twalli · Answer

She needs to be able and willing to cook or clean. I can do both, but I don't want to. So delegation or duties.

bulletbob555 · Answer

During dating it doesn't matter for the most part. Takeout going to dinner is the norm. I can cook so to me it wouldn't matter during dating or married

Youdumbeotch · Answer

Women really ain’t shit nowadays to be honest. Just good for sex and being whores. Housekeep and motherly behavior is long gone.  Future generations of children will be plagued with stds

Nik1hil · Answer

Well..  I am willing to compromise if you are anywhere as beautiful as @imthequeen

SunnySensei · Answer

Yes, I can Miss, as long as I don't have to cook daily though. 😅😅

Babygirl_S · Answer

I can't believe how many are ready to cook for a woman who can't cook. It's a culture shock for me. Most men I know want an employed woman who does most of the housework including cooking.

crazy8000 · Answer

Most humans can learn. It's just a matter of attitude. Her attitude will make her undateable/dateable.

Anonymous · Answer

I can cook for myself. But im not gonna cook for him lmao you can learn too my boy, it’s called give and take. 😏 f I look like your servant?

Reverselogic · Answer

Yup. That would make two of us that can't cook. We'd have something in common from the get go.

DiegoO · Answer

I can cook, so I am expecting a partner who can as well.

iWantToCry · Answer

can't cook? How can't you cook? How hard it to follow a recipe

Anonymous · Answer

Nope, I wouldn't. I'm sorry ladies but you are slowly reducing your value to just sex, and nothing more. I want a real woman who can offer more than sex. I'm not going to settle for a man with a vagina.

admles · Answer

No. Cooking is a basic human skill EVERYONE should be competent with.

Paul09 · Answer

So what does she eat then? Most likely no. It isn't that hard.. Everyone should know how. Follow instructions lol.

ItsMeItsMe1989 · Answer

Maybe, id have to think about it I think as long as she knows how to boil water without burning the house down, id be ok

Nigjt · Answer

Yes she can learn just like I did because I will show her. I just will not be with any Women who will not try at lest. God Bless

B4852 · Answer

Fine with me because I can cook.

SmokinAces2000 · Answer

Yeah, I’m a pretty good cook so that’s not an essential trait in a partner

Grubhub · Answer

Na, men should be able to come home after a hard days work to a beautiful woman and dinner on the table. That’s paradise right? 💯

KrakenAttackin · Answer

Well, if a guy says "no" that pretty much eliminates 85%+ of modern women.

lorenzomichael · Answer

Fuck yeah why not. I'll just bring my microwave flowers from time to time.

beefy40 · Answer

If your an adult, and can't cook something is wrong with you..

Cowboy6666 · Answer

Sure no problem to me. But She can learn to cook or might know basic stuff :)
